The next day, Beomgyu texted Taehyun through Jeongin's phone, asking her to meet at the beach they both loved going to together. Beomgyu was struggling to confess to Taehyun again, but the beach he loved made him feel safe to express them. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the waves as Taehyun arrived, spotting Beomgyu waiting by the shoreline. They walked along the sand, reminiscing about old times, the familiar scent of salt air and the sound of crashing waves a comforting backdrop to their conversation.

Finally, Beomgyu took a deep breath and confessed his feelings. "Taehyun, I have something to tell you. I love you Taehyun. I always felt this way after we broke up. I tried to keep you out of my mind and focus on my career. I've done everything. I tried to contact you but you blocked me. I even went to our favorite spots to look for you. I'm sorry for the way I treated you, but after the breakup the thing I wanted to do the most and should've done months ago..is telling you straightly that..I still love you." His voice trembled slightly as he handed Taehyun his favorite flower - a tulip, its vibrant color a stark contrast to the melancholy in his eyes.

Taehyun looked at him with a mix of sadness and understanding. "Beomgyu, I don't know how to tell you this but I'm dating someone," he said softly. "Soobin and I are dating." Beomgyu's face fell, a wave of disappointment washing over him. "Mm. How long?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper. "It's been a few months. He's in the US but he still manages to make time for me," Taehyun replied, his voice laced with concern for Beomgyu's reaction. "Soobin and Taehyun are together. You two look so good together! Cute. I hope you're happy," Beomgyu managed a small, bittersweet, trembling smile, trying to mask the pain that was starting to consume him. Tears started to form in his eyes, but this time he couldn't hold them back. He turned to leave, his heart heavy with a mix of emotions, but tripped on the sand and fell into the water.

"Beomgyu!" Taehyun shouts as he tries to help him up.

"I'm okay," he pushes his hand off him getting up by himself.

"You two look so good together." He says tears rapidly down his face.

"Beomgyu, are you alright?" Taehyun continued to ask, the feeling of guilt started to run through her body.
Beomgyu didn't reply all he did was hold a thumbs up. Walking away, Taehyun sees his covering his mouth and hyperventilating.
